The Chapter 11 bankruptcy case for rap artist DMX was dismissed by a federal judge on Friday, November 8 on a request of a U.S. Trustee. According to reports, Bankruptcy Court Judge Robert Drain dismissed the bankruptcy case of the 42-year-old rapper as requested by U.S. Trustee Tracy Hope Davis after he was cited for legal non-compliance.

DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, has a debt of $1.8 million, a large part of which is child support owed for his children. DMX was also barred from filing for bankruptcy for one year and six months.

According to bet.com, Rapper DMX filed chapter 11 bankruptcy, but a U.S. Trustee discovered inconsistencies in his documentation.

According to reports, U.S. Trustee Tracy Hope will try to reduce the rapper’s Chapter 11 filing to Chapter 7, which means DMX will have to sell his properties to repay his debtors.

On a recent document filed by Hope, she noted that the rapper’s debtors are disappointed with federal actions after DMX failed to appear at a meeting with his creditors last September. Hope also noted that the rapper is deliberately delaying the process. DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, filed Chapter 11 last July after he had accumulated a debt of $10 million.
